The Waters College of Health Professions at Georgia Southern University has received approval from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to move forward with a new Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies program.

With plans to prepare 35–40 physician assistants each year, the program will help strengthen Georgia’s health care workforce while expanding opportunities for students to pursue careers dedicated to serving others.

Pending final accreditation approvals, Georgia Southern expects to begin recruiting its inaugural cohort within the next two years.
